At this point from the stores that have patches and especially the half dozen+ patch sellers from /k/inder, we've got a bit of a patch market saturation. Pretty much everything has been done or will be done soon enough.

Bolt faces oddly aren't as common compared to weeb inside jokes and meme stuff. We could probably fill one of the last remaining holes, doing bolt faces of all kinds.

I think what I'll do is move forward with a run of 3", black boltface on white background circular patches - with velcro backing. That seems like the logical starting place, then based on interest in that we can see what other designs people might want.

I plan to make them available via a few different vehicles, the easiest just being a webstore on my own site so people can pay via Stripe. I also plan to make them available via Patreon, and of course if people desire alternative payment methods like Paypal, crypto, etc they can just email me directly to place an order and we'll work out the details.

They were meant to be paired with switching over to the new server, but we've run into some delays due to the massively shitty nature of Kusaba X, which was doing some truly stupid database things and then logging them, creating massive worthless junk files.

I'd like another Felix patch or two (gave my first one to Wut?), along with a couple more of the subdued variant of the standard patch. Are those in stock? Or if not, are there any plans to commission additional runs of them in the future?

>>110972I remember buying that a good while ago, I think it was at the PBE store. It looks identical to the real patch I have, if Romanov drops back here soon I think he'd be able to help you out with that. No use going through the patchmaking process once again if it's been done before.

That's a thing that can happen. I'm fine with doing lots of different variations, it just takes me a little bit to get the designs set and ordered, and of course it takes money so I can't spam them out as fast as I might like.

Potentially, like I said Romanov hasn't responded so I don't know if he's planning on making more. It would be fairly easy for me to make a run of them but I'd need to know that people are gonna buy them.

Oh wait actually - I am definitely moving ahead with the PBE Felix patches, I am confident there is sufficient interest for those to be worth it. This poll should have other PBE patches like reissues of the regular patch.

Another idea was a corporate "pro" logo for PBE which anonymouse is also slaving away on.

It's up in the store - warning though shipping literally anything to the UK costs like 13 bucks, and I will have a few more patches including the PBE Felix one within the next few weeks, so it may be worth waiting to get any others you want as well so they can go in one mailer.

>>111198I've seen pretty much every post you made since you started. I personally think 4chan /k/'s patch crowd were giving you the cold shoulder for a few reasons, not really reasons that were your fault. Basically, patch threads have a pretty tight-knit (ha ha ha) little group of patch makers and they in turn have a decent relationship with their main buyers. After that, there's the general mostly-lurking community.

The overwhelming majority of patch makers on 4chan's /k/ are from /k/ or at least from 4chan (like /out/ and /pol/ patchfags) and they start making patches from the board for the board. Minor exceptions aside, having a brand new trip show up right out of the blue advertizing patches for another website entirely probably rubbed those guys the wrong way. I don't remember seeing your 4ch/k/ trip in any post before your patches were available, nor do I remember seeing any poll or question about those patches before they were available. I could be wrong though, I try to stay up to date on patch threads but there are only so many hours in a day, and my list of patches that I want from the current 4ch/k/ patch guys is quite small, so I normally just give it a quick scroll to see if anything interesting has popped up. I don't pay that much attention to the rest of the posts unless someone it sticking something up their butts.

I think it's like they have their little clique with in-jokes and a few members in their secret club makes some stuff, and then a random person they'd never seen before walks into their club meeting and tries to sell them stuff they didn't ask for (even if it's stuff they'd normally want a lot).

Don't get me wrong, I very much like your patches and I thought you were perfectly cordial even when facing some unsavory comments, but from what I gather, popular patchselling on 4chan is a bit of a process that starts something like an anon saying "I can make patches like this anyone interested", posting updates of the thing thread after thread with those funny scanned-patch-prototype fuckups, eventually getting a trip once people are trying to throw money at the screen because they've been drooling over patch #56, and then posting a where_get_thing link.

At this point, I think they'd be ok with you just saying hi and posting a patch concept. Could be something like this with a "anyone interested, post cybermancy stuff you'd like to see patches for" or something.

It rubbed like one guy the wrong way - the rest of them bought patches. I've actually been conversing civilly with them for the past few threads. They've given me a few ideas which I'm going to work on.

>>111200Good, I'm glad it was a bad apple, because just typing the previous post out made me shudder with autism. Like seriously it's bits of cloth chucked around an Andorran marmalade-jarring forum, these people just enjoy their anger.

On a rectangular patch could be cool.

>>111245Indeed it really isn't so bad, thankfully. There's a patch maker in South Africa, shit took months to get here but that wasn't as bad as this one patch I ordered from China. Four months, three weeks. Ironically, it was for a Kiki's Delivery Service patch.

>>111322thanks for the link my guy! i'll comb through it tonight after stuffing my fat american face :) and i hope you do another run cause i haven't spoken to romanov in forever! is he a ghost around these parts like myself?
